FACETCAM STUDIO — HOW IT WORKS
From spec sheet to spinning stone.
Five steps, no 3D skills, no photography. The wizard mirrors how the trade already describes a stone — shape, size, colour — and the engine computes the rest.
W1 — The five steps
01 Cut
Choose from 1,500+ faceting designs or a saved custom cut — round brilliant to antique cushion.
02 Stone
Type the real millimetre dimensions; carat is estimated from material density. Pick material and a graded colour.
03 Look
Scene, lighting style, output quality, brand caption, optional girdle inscription.
04 View
Camera preset — through table, crown side, on point — framed live in a 3D preview that matches the render.
05 Order
A spec-sheet confirmation shows exactly what will render and what it costs in credits.
W2 — What the engine actually uses
Real dimensions
The gem geometry is generated at your entered millimetre sizes — proportions come from the cut design, scale from you.
Material optics
Each material carries its physical refractive index, dispersion and Fresnel behaviour; a diamond fires like a diamond, a sapphire doesn't.
Scene & camera
Studio-style lighting rigs and camera presets are part of the recipe, chosen in the wizard and reproduced exactly.
Path-traced rendering
Frames are computed on GPU with physically-based ray tracing — the same class of rendering used for film, tuned for gemstones.
W3 — What it does not claim
- · It is not photography — every asset is a computer-generated visualization from submitted specifications.
- · It is not a grading report, appraisal, or laboratory certificate, and proportion estimates are not laboratory cut grades.
- · It does not depict the physical characteristics of an actual stone — inclusions, fluorescence and polish features are not shown.
W4 — What you receive
⬥ PHOTOREAL RENDER — GENERATED FROM STONE SPECIFICATIONS, NOT PHOTOGRAPHY
This asset is a computer-generated visualization based on submitted stone specifications. It does not depict a photographed physical stone. Inclusions, fluorescence, polish features, and other physical characteristics of an actual stone are not shown. Disclosed rendering is what keeps these assets trustworthy.
FacetCAM does not support, condone, or assist deceptive or unlawful use of its renders. Our Terms of Use prohibit presenting a render as photography, implying laboratory grading or certification, or advertising a stone that does not exist.
